Cancellation Newsday: Simple Process
What is Newsday
Newsday is a regional news publisher serving Long Island and nearby areas, offering digital access to local reporting, investigative pieces, a digital replica of the print edition, crosswords, and alerts through web and mobile apps.
Subscriptions provide unlimited digital access via the Newsday app and website and are billed either monthly or annually depending on the plan chosen.
How to cancel Newsday
Choose the cancellation route that matches how you subscribed - through Apple (iOS), Google Play (Android), or directly on the Newsday website or by phone. Follow the steps for your platform below; uninstalling the app does not cancel a subscription, and Newsday does not accept cancellations by email.
- App Store (iOS): On your iPhone or iPad open Settings → your name → Subscriptions → select Newsday → Cancel Subscription. Subscriptions bought through Apple auto-renew unless canceled in Apple settings.
- Google Play (Android): Open the Play Store app → Profile → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions → select Newsday → Cancel subscription. Deleting the app will not stop billing.
- Web / Direct (Newsday.com): Log in at Newsday.com → Manage My Subscription and follow the on-screen cancellation prompts. If no cancel option appears, call customer service at 1‑800‑NEWSDAY (1‑800‑639‑7329) to request cancellation; do not rely on email.
- Registered mail (proof of delivery): To ensure a record, you may also send a written cancellation via registered mail (raccomandata A/R) to Newsday’s billing address: 235 Pinelawn Road, Melville, NY 11747, United States. Keep the receipt as proof of delivery.
What happens when you cancel
Cancelling stops future auto-renewals; you will generally retain access until the end of the current paid billing period. Newsday account data such as your profile and saved preferences may remain on their systems per their data policies - check your account or the privacy policy for data-retention specifics.
If you cancel an in-app subscription via Apple or Google, the platform manages the subscription status and you keep access through the paid period. If you cancel directly with Newsday, they will confirm the end date of access; if no confirmation is given, keep documentation of your cancellation attempt.
Will I get a refund?
Newsday’s stated policy is that subscription charges are not refundable and cancellations do not produce prorated or unused-period refunds except where required by law. That means in most normal cancellations you will not receive money back for time remaining in your billing period.
Exceptions are possible in rare or exceptional cases (for example, demonstrable mistaken billing or other errors). Platform providers (Apple or Google) have their own refund request processes and may issue refunds at their discretion - contact Apple Support or Google Play support for refund requests for in-app purchases.
Newsday plans and pricing
| Plan | Price (CAD) | Period | Features |
|---|---|---|---|
| Newsday Monthly (digital) | C$19.49 | Monthly | Unlimited digital access via the app, includes digital paper, crossword, alerts, etc. |
| Newsday Annual (digital) | C$194.99 | Yearly | Unlimited digital access via the app, billed annually |
| Single Edition | C$0.99 | Per issue/day | Access to a single edition |
Your consumer rights in Canada
There is no specific nationwide 14-day cooling-off period for digital news subscriptions in Canada; standard commercial terms and Newsday’s subscription policy generally govern cancellations and refunds. Only refunds required by applicable law - such as for misbilling or other statutory consumer protections - are automatically enforceable.
Platform purchases (App Store or Google Play) are also subject to Apple’s and Google’s own policies for refunds and disputes; you may be able to request a refund from those platforms under their procedures even if Newsday’s policy states no refunds.
Customer experiences
Users commonly praise Newsday’s local investigative reporting and the ability to read the print edition online; some reviews note a stable experience on recent iOS versions. Conversely, many customers report app crashes, login problems, outdated digital paper editions, and frequent re‑login requirements. Reviews and complaint boards also contain reports of difficulty cancelling, unexpected rate increases, and unsatisfactory customer-service interactions.
Some account-holders have reported successful, discretionary refunds after contacting customer service and explaining billing issues, but these are presented as exceptions rather than the rule.
Documentation checklist
- Account username/email, subscription ID or order number, and proof of purchase (receipt or bank/credit-card statement)
- Screenshots of subscription screens, billing dates, and any error messages
- Call logs and notes (date, time, representative name) or confirmation numbers from phone cancellations
- Registered-mail receipt (raccomandata A/R) if you send a written cancellation to Newsday’s address
Common mistakes
Many subscribers assume deleting the app stops billing; it does not - subscriptions must be canceled through the platform or account used to buy them. Another frequent error is waiting until after an automatic renewal posts; you should cancel before the billing date to avoid being charged for the next period.
Also, relying on email to cancel or failing to keep proof of a phone request can lead to disputes. If a website account shows no cancel button, calling and keeping detailed notes or using registered mail with proof of delivery helps if a charge needs to be contested.
Comparative recap
| Method | Refund | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|
| App Store (iOS) - Settings → Subscriptions | Possible only via Apple’s refund process; Newsday policy: no refunds | Low to Medium |
| Google Play (Android) - Play Store → Subscriptions | Possible only via Google Play refund request; Newsday policy: no refunds | Low to Medium |
| Web / Direct via Newsday.com → Manage My Subscription | No (only if legally required or exceptional courtesy refund) | Medium to High (some users report missing cancel button) |
| Phone - 1‑800‑NEWSDAY (1‑800‑639‑7329) | No (possible exception after review) | Medium to High |
| Registered mail (raccomandata A/R) to billing address | No (provides proof; refund only as legally required or exceptional) | High (formal, but creates evidence) |
After cancelling
Keep all confirmation messages, receipts, screenshots, and any registered-mail receipts. If a charge remains after cancellation, contact your payment provider and consider asking Apple or Google for a refund if the purchase was made through their stores. For direct subscription disputes, present documentation to Newsday customer service and, if necessary, pursue your rights through your card issuer or local consumer-protection authorities.
